Abstract
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for interfacing with a power line network. Electrical power is received, and a voltage of the electrical power is monitored. When the voltage is inadequate, then an alternate power source is automatically connected. A frequency of electrical power provided by the alternate power source is monitored, and high frequency data signals are separated from low frequency power signals.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving electrical power from a power line network;
- monitoring a voltage of the electrical power received from the power line network;
- connecting an alternate power source in response to the voltage being inadequate;
- monitoring a frequency of the electrical power provided by the alternate power source;
- and
- separating high frequency data signals from low frequency power signals.

A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving electrical power from a power line network;
- monitoring a voltage of the electrical power received from the power line network;
- connecting an alternate power source in response to the voltage being inadequate;
- monitoring a frequency of the electrical power provided by the alternate power source;
- and
- separating high frequency data signals from low frequency power signals.
